Indeed. Why do people rationalise this stuff in such an odd way? Attention isn't currency and advertising isn't a foreign exchange. They mention about having a new "mental model" so mental gymnastics is probably an appropriate term in this case.
The users of TikTok are mostly teenagers and young adults, that's why. Nearly everybody in journalism is late 20s or 30+. They just don't get it, though to be fair vine had a similar type of content and that failed.
Have the summer off, you don't have to "hustle" every single day.
You seem to be trying to over-optimise your time and talk about wanting to change things, there is a good chance you'll get burnt out and there is more to life than writing code and solving problems. I have no idea about you other than the context of your post so I may be completely wrong though.
They are good but make sure that the bottle is sealed properly and you don't have the bottle over your body while you sleep because people getting burned by these things is surprisingly common.
The detail is quite interesting. The Austrian interpretation seems to hinge on the US intelligence agencies having access to data as a third-party at any time because their surveillance laws are so broad and the fact that UUIDs are being used between cookies and therefore the anonymised data is actually not very anonymous if you slurp data like the NSA and can combine that with IPs addresses.
This is bollocks, GCHQ get on fine with metadata and most CSAM is back-doored anyway, it is literally "think of the children" claptrap. It's just another power grab, we already have some of the worst privacy laws in the world in the UK.
I never see these surveys when I browse Youtube on my PC but the bonkers shit they ask my Mum always amuses me, also Youtube is very picky about about the content that YouTube creators create but will happily bombard my Mum with gambling ads all the time. You can opt out for "less" gambling adverts but obviously algo-wankers weasel out of any responsibility so it probably won't work very well since it makes them less money.
On my current project we don't estimate. It might not be suitable for most projects but we just pick up tickets off the kanban board instead of wasting days every month arguing whether a ticket is a '5' or an '8' we just do the work that needs doing the most.
Same here, thought I thought was being scammed but everyone else in my family got letters saying that their cards are moving to Mastercard debit in the coming months. I doubt Visa will have much marketshare even in the debit card market by the end of next year.
The lorry drivers that drive fuel lorries have different certification than general HGV drivers and there has never been a shortage of these lorry drivers.
90% of the linked article is trying to peddle laptops and tablets that support Windows 11 so it's pretty obvious that they are just trying to milk the OEM OS market with a new OS.
This is pretty cringe, it sounds like an add-on 4chan would make ironically not the actual developer of the browser who should, you know, be actually developing the browser.
Not that I know of. TypeScript has had some major adoption over vanilla JavaScript over the past few years, I used it a bit when it was relatively new and now it is pretty common to see it advertised on job specs but I have never seen Deno once, maybe they use it in "ployglot" shops where everybody uses more esoteric languages but I haven't seen it advertised anywhere.
It's a shame Firefox is dying. I see more and more websites that simply refuse to work on Firefox and with the decreasing market share and breaking changes they seem to be introducing every update now it's harder than ever to justify not switching over to a chromium based browser.
I've worked with non-native English speakers before and I think some people underestimate how much jargon and dialect that native English speakers use on a daily basis that people that live in non-English speaking countries don't get exposed to.
For example saying: "how are you getting on?" seems to be a rarer expression than simply asking "how are you?" and is more difficult for non-native speakers to parse, of course they can learn specific British and American expressions, dialect and office jargon but it's another hurdle to communication.
It's the opposite where I work. We are "DevOps Engineers" but we spend most of our time writing Java and we get by using Kubernetes, Docker and Ansible but I always feel like we are scratching the surface a bit.
Yep, every story pointing session is basically just think of a Fibonacci number and round it up. Finishing early makes your scrum master leave you alone but finishing late makes you and your team look bad and "unagile" and then you get even less done next sprint because you are stuck in meetings. The scrum master always wins because nobody is ever doing enough Agile.
